Hal's Prefab Editor

[stallionsden]

[QUOTE=ickyickes;728394]So I have the prefab exporter working and all but when I copy my base over the chests are empty in the new copy. I was just wondering if there is a way to copy a part of a map and have it keep all the things in your chests and containers?[/QUOTE] Hals doesnt have that in it. Only one I know of is djkrose mod.

Noooo so how do we import prefabs now?

[QUOTE=Mana;728521]Noooo so how do we import prefabs now?[/QUOTE] Lol hals exports and imports + heaps etc lol. It doesnt export contents of containers tho lol. Stompynz api might but I know djkrose scripting mod does export the contents of the containers.

Here's an idea: A choice to exclude certain blocks from a bbb restore. IOW: If it's not currently there, don't restore it I would pick -planted crops/trees -any ore (coal, iron etc This would keep people from claiming a mine, getting all the ore and restoring it. Maybe these too: -turrets or defense devices -generators

Also, I believe I found a bug. The shield seems to kill mini bikes. If I have it on and someone starts racing towards me, they start on fire as they enter the shield bubble.

[Eihwaz]

only a question - but why no fusion with pilles editor? that the "editor" button of your programm leads to his editor.

[JaxTeller718]

I notice Starvation still uses the Hal entity file for custom entities I was wondering if there was an updated version as the one here no longer works.

[Abrondino]

It seems that 16.4 dropped. I imagine that we're going to need an update from you, Hal. My Afternight server uses the dedicated build. Although that normally comes out a little later. Thank you! This mod truly adds to the personality of my server and why I have a large draw of people. They love the ability to repair using the bbb commands.

Are there plans to rebuild this for 16.4 so we can have the bbb commands?

[Guppycur]

I think Hal is out til December. Use BadCo or coppi.

[QUOTE=Guppycur;756058]I think Hal is out til December. Use BadCo or coppi.[/QUOTE] Thanks. I will check them out.

[Eihwaz]

Hey, i´ve made a small tutorial in [B]german[/B] about hal´n´pilles editors, and how to use them to make prefabs (incl. mesh). I hope it help someone :strawberry: [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqf-2NZ_khE&list=PLdEIOumORNUl-9-e0AkoXPm1rZSnQLCAh&index=11[/url]

[QUOTE=Guppycur;756058]I think Hal is out til December. Use BadCo or coppi.[/QUOTE] That's unfortunate :(

[QUOTE=Guppycur;756058]I think Hal is out til December. Use BadCo or coppi.[/QUOTE] Or revert to 16.3 stable for now. :)

Does anyone know why this is happening when trying to run it? [url]https://imgur.com/a/q8Dk5[/url] I try to goto prefab editor or world editor and they just move around like crazy cant click em, i try hitting arrow keys to highlight them and hit enter and nope nothing. Were these functions disabled? Also the FTP Settings allow for Editing Dedicated Servers that aren't hosted on the same computer correct?

One would see that hals editor does not work in a16 and is currently discontinued lol. One would also only need to read only but a few lines down to see a link to a working prefab editor done by Pille.

I Figured the Prefab Editor is what was broken in Alpha 16 and not the World Editor as per the quote i copied. Also Pille's Editor is not what i need i don't want to edit prefabs, i want to import them live. I apologize for not knowing that both were broke.

[Royal Deluxe]

World editor works only on 16.2 for me (no idea if its me or the programm) For live import you can look at stompys mod and Coppis mod too (Stompys i never used, Coppys my experience is from A14 and the beginning of A15)

[SolidSnake916]

Thank you Royal Deluxe, i was looking into Stompys mod, but i'm not sure if it had a visual import like Hals, where you can see how high it will drop and stuff. Coppis doesn't work for me as it interferes with Server Tools 4.1

Welcome to the forums and the prefabbing world..... I don't believe the world editor is currently working. Maybe make a request in pilles editor for it. As yeh that is always handy to habe at ones disposal

.NET Framework Error Hello, I used the editor recently, maybe a week ago, using the 16.3 build just fine. Exporting and importing. However, today I went to start it up and I was greeted with a .NET error. I wanted to use bbb to import and export some prefabs, but I couldn't access the backup manager to make myself an admin. I was able to use "bbb ?" and it did work, but I could not import/export because of the inaccessibility to admin/backup manager. I AM set as admin on the server, however. My brother also has the tool, but his is working just fine. I can bbb command on his server and use pille's editor all day long. He is also on windows 7, while i'm using windows 10. Would this error be from something on my end? I tried installing the 4.5.2 .NET Framework listed on the OP, but I keep getting an error preventing me from doing so, stating I have a later version already installed (4.7.1 according to the registry); Microsoft doesn't make it easy... I tried reinstalling the editor, 7 days to die, and windows but all have failed :( I couldn't begin to guess why the error happened in the first place. I haven't done anything substantial to my computer, except maybe an update somewhere broke something? I don't know... It's not that big of a deal because at least I can use it on my brother's PC, but it's still perplexing why I cannot. Any insight is greatly appreciated :)

If there's no other admins set on your game you can use "bbb rp" to reload the player data. This will also make you an admin if no one else has been assigned.
